The Kosciuszko Walk climbs from Thredbo through alpine ash forest, snow gum woodland, and open alpine country to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest mountain at 2,228 metres. Much of the route follows raised metal boardwalks designed to protect the fragile alpine environment, especially across the exposed high plains above the tree line. In summer, the track is known for alpine wildflowers and wide views across Kosciuszko National Park, while conditions can change quickly with strong wind, snow, and low temperatures possible even outside winter.
